"I Consider myself a non-violent person, but being a spectator at this [Apacke Knife Fighting & Battle Tactics] seminar helped me to understand two things: First off, that the art of self-defense in Apache Warrior tactics is like watching a dance done with grace and energetic skill. It was beautiful to watch. Secondly, the extent that warriors go through in order to be prepared to protect their loved ones and their land, when used with the laws of honor and integrity—this is a fierce and valiant thing." - Cynthia Straus, Taos, NM
GLOBAL KNIFE FIGHTING & AFFILIATED ARTS (GKF) WILL NOT TEACH ANY ANTI- AMERICAN ORGANIZATION, TERRORIST CELL, STREET GANG, HATE ORGANIZATION OR ANY SUCH EVIL GROUP.
Global Knife Fighting & Affiliated Arts (GKF) Affirmation - This is a knife...and it is my knife. If you have a knife I will take it from you...and it too will be mine. I will never drop my knife. If my knife leaves my hand it is because it is stuck in my enemy. My knife is sharp. My knife can cut. My knife can stab. My knife can kill. I will pull out my knife if my life or those around me are in danger. If I pull out my knife, I will not hesitate to use it. If I use my knife I will not hesitate to kill. My knife and I are one. If one knife is good, two knives are better. I am not afraid to protect the innocent. And I will never use my knowledge and skill of the knife for evil. My business is the knife...I don't play fair! – By Snake Blocker
